MY RETIRED DOCTOR FRIEND HAS USED ELECTRICAL ACUPUNCTURE (EA) TO CURE (?) CHEMO INDUCED NEUROPATHY, CIPN. I JUST WENT FROM TWICE A WEEK FOR 2 WEEKS TO ONCE A WEEK. AFTER 5 TREATMENTS, THE FINGER NUMBNESS HAS GONE AWAY AND I CAN PICK UP A PENNY AND BUTTON MY SHIRT. NOW SHE FOCUSES ON MY FEET. I AM HOPEFUL THIS WILL RESTORE MY BALANCE. ANY COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED

@alperk I also went for chemo-induced neuropathy and it helped with the pain (I used to have "wake me up at night pain"). I started with 2-3 times a week and then reduced slowly. I stopped after probably 7-10 months and now I don't go at all. No more pain, just numbness (which I also had before)
